How to fix an error in Visual Studio error hresult e_fail from a call to a com component

Question

Good afternoon, I am currently encountering this error when trying to create an ASP.NET Web Application (.Net Framework) project. And I tried this forum, but it didn't solve it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1380834/no-me-deja-crear-proyectos-asp-net-y-me-sale-el-er I already uninstalled everything and reinstalled it, what can I do? I attach evidence of the error, I am using the community version of Visual studio 2022

I would recommend you follow option 4 in the other post where you run VS with /log and then look at the generated activity log file. You should also take a look at the Event Log in Windows to see if it recorded the error. Another thing to consider is that it may be one of your custom extensions that you have installed so disable any extensions you're using first, restart VS and try again. Note that this is similar to what /safemode does but I don't think you can create an ASP.NET project in safemode. Does this happen for non-ASP.NET projects? In other words can you create a class library or console app project?
